+* Stop shr from using background color            :emacs:elisp:config:

+  Here's just one more example why Emacs is so awesome
+
+  Reading mail in Gnus is very nice, but shr has become a little too
+  good at its job. Add to this the many occasions when a background is
+  specified without specifying a foreground, plus a color theme that
+  is the inverse of what is usually expected, and you can get
+  hard-to-read HTML messages, gray foreground and gray background.
+
+  I've looked at the other possible renderers, but they don't look
+  very nice compared to shr. So just remove its ability to add
+  background colors.
